Seems to Me

Ecclesiastes Chapter 7 consists of 29 verses,
verses 1-8 are listed below:

1.A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

2.It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

3.Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

4.The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

5.It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6.For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7.Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

8.Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
